5 Free PDF Converters for Windows Users – Make Tech Easier
"Wouldn’t it be great if Windows comes with its own PDF converter? Unfortuately, it does not. With PDF being one of the preferred ways of protecting and sending documentation to others, we need a way to convert any document format into PDF. In case you are searching for such tool, here are five of the best free PDF converters for Windows users:"

Free mind mapping (and related types) software - Wikit
"The general policy of WikIT is not to deal with mind mapping software (see Policies of WikIT) because this is first and foremost a wiki about information maps and visual aids to thinking. It covers what they are, how to use them, which type to choose when, and how to make them.
But there are regular inquiries on Twitter and in forums about free mind mapping software, so to provide answers, InformationTamers have put together this list. We built this article, with permission, using the most complete source for details of information mapping software on the Web: Mind-mapping.org. Hat tip to Vic Gee who put Mind-mapping.org together and keeps it up to date.
Mind-mapping.org has a good capability for selecting software by map type and operating system (click on the 'Refine software list' tab at the top right of its web page), and shows the price. Unfortunately, it doesn't allow you to filter on price or choose to see only the free ones. This article is therefore a quick list to current software that is free or has a free option. It excludes applications that have a time limit on their operation, for example, free trial software or web applications.
"Free" here is as in beer, not in freedom, though some of the software listed is open source, so is free in both senses.
Of course a pencil and paper is always free - or almost. "
Slashdot Technology Story | Google Launches Public DNS Resolver
""Google has announced the launch of their free DNS resolution service, called Google Public DNS. According to their blog post, Google Public DNS uses continuous record prefetching to avoid cache misses — hopefully making the service faster — and implements a variety of techniques to block spoofing attempts. They also say that (unlike an increasing number of ISPs), Google Public DNS behaves exactly according to the DNS standard, and will not redirect you to advertising in the event of a failed lookup. Very cool, but of course there are questions about Google's true motivations behind knowing every site you visit.""
Google Public DNS

What is Google Public DNS?
Google Public DNS is a free, global Domain Name System (DNS) resolution service, that you can use as an alternative to your current DNS provider.
To try it out:
* Configure your network settings to use the IP addresses 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as your DNS servers or
* Read our configuration instructions.
If you decide to try Google Public DNS, your client programs will perform all DNS lookups using Google Public DNS. "

Serum Levels of Free 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D in Vitamin D Toxicity -- Pettifor et al. 122 (7): 511 -- Annals of Internal Medicine
Serum levels of free 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D in vitamin D toxicity.
Pettifor JM, Bikle DD, Cavaleros M, Zachen D, Kamdar MC, Ross FP.
Ann Intern Med. 1995 Apr 1;122(7):511-3.
PMID: 7872586
CONCLUSIONS: Although the patients had normal or near-normal total 1,25-(OH)2D values, most patients had elevated free 1,25-(OH)2D levels. These findings suggest that elevated free 1,25-(OH)2D levels might play a role in the pathogenesis of hypercalcemia in vitamin D toxicity.
Inside Google Books: Download Over a Million Public Domain Books from Google Books in the Open EPUB Format
Over the years, we've heard a lot from people who've unearthed hidden treasures in Google Books: a crafter who uncovered a forgotten knitting technique, a family historian who discovered her ancestor once traveled the country with a dancing, roller-skating bear. The books they found were out of copyright and in the public domain, which meant they could read the full text and even download a PDF version of the book.
I'm excited to announce that starting today, Google Books will offer free downloads of these and more than one million more public domain books in an additional format, EPUB. By adding support for EPUB downloads, we're hoping to make these books more accessible by helping people around the world to find and read them in more places. More people are turning to new reading devices to access digital books, and many such phones, netbooks, and e-ink readers have smaller screens that don't readily render image-based PDF versions of the books we've scanned. EPUB is a lightweight text-based digital book format that allows the text to automatically conform (or "reflow") to these smaller screens. And because EPUB is a free, open standard supported by a growing ecosystem of digital reading devices, works you download from Google Books as EPUBs won't be tied to or locked into a particular device. We'll also continue to make available these books in the popular PDF format so you can see images of the pages just as they appear in the printed book.
Google Now Offers Over a Million Free Ebooks in EPUB Format
Have you noticed that Sony launched its best ebook reader a couple of days ago, with an AT&T 3G modem for fast wireless connection? Not by accident, Google (Google) has now announced they’re offering over a million public domain books in EPUB format – the exact format compatible with Sony’s Daily Edition reader.
To download a book, search for a title over at Google Books. Public domain titles will have a download link in the upper right corner. Which brings us to the first major difference between the Kindle and this Google-Sony open book strategy: while Amazon only offers 300,000 titles, Google’s million books aren’t, for the most part, the most attractive ones, and Sony’s own ebook library doesn’t offer a choice as good as Amazon – at least when it comes to modern titles.

Free File Renaming Tools for Batch Renaming of Multiple Files (thefreecountry.com)
File renaming utilties allow you to rename multiple files in one go. They are primarily intended for bulk renaming, such as when you have a number of files and you want to add a certain prefix or suffix to the file name. One common use for such tools is if you have a digital camera that creates files with names like "img12345.jpg", "img12346.jpg" and so on. With the tools on this page, it's a simple matter to rename these files with a prefix, change the case, replace certain parts of the filename with other characters, and so on. While it's certainly possible to just rename the files individually using your usual method, the software here make your renaming tasks a breeze.
